Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during groundworks associated with refurbishment, at a site which lay at the heart of Roman and medieval Chichester. Roman deposits were recorded in all of the four footing trenches excavated. Trenches 1 and 3 were each dominated by a robber trench. Greensand stone rubble was recovered at the bases of both features. It was not possible to ascertain whether the two robber trenches represented a single wall or two separate walls. A flint and mortar wall which had truncated earlier occupation and construction phases was recorded within footing trench 2. Within all of the trenches, early levelling and consolidation dumps were encountered. Localised burnt areas were recorded within 1 and 3; of these, one was probably in situ, whilst the other had been redeposited into a small pit. A burnt floor was also noted in trench 1, perhaps indicating that a building had been destroyed by fire. It was concluded that extensive archaeological remains of Roman date existed below the depth of the cellar at the site. [AIP] |
